{Glam} Suit and Tie

January 22, 2013 in Glam: Style & Trends

I frequently refer back to the Fall/ Winter Fashion trends that we just recently spotted gracing the brightly lit runways. It’s amazing to see them slowly trickle down into a women’s everyday wear. As you watch the newest look step out on that Fall day, you think to yourself, “Western fringe? Back to the Military?” And then, a mere three months later, major brands follow suit unleashing the hit trends. (Such as, the very popular army green/ leather jacket combo thanks to the inspired works by Victoria Beckham, Prada, and Salvatore Ferragamo.)

It’s exciting to see these killer designs on the street. (And, have the chance to afford them!) As a working woman, I have my eyes set on the power suit. I find strong shoulders with slick details are the key to the perfect blazer. 

Suit and Tie was inspired by the long silhouettes and Gothic emotion of Valentino and Jill Sander and the suit structure from Miu Miu and Temperly London. To design my own look, I paired my ankle-brushing maxi-dress by American designer Nicole Miller with a sharp blazer by Ralph Lauren. 

Puzzled at how to work your beloved winter trend? Take a look you love, and either pair them with other printed pieces to make a contrast or wear them with mono-tone pieces to keep your outfit well-balanced.
